Description
One of the young yearlings was the first to show up in this miserably cold weather ( -1*F/-22*C with a wicked wind) to sample some of the stuff I picked up in the city today for them. Apparently their ears grow to full size before their noses do
More nature shots here .... [link]

Aww, the poor baby! -22°C?? That makes me shiver when I only think about it. Thankfully, we're currently having a break from those temperatures; all the snow has thawed (but we're having bad flooding problems now, like the rest of the world).
That's a very nice and clear capture; how close were you?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
at least it has warmed up .... during the night it got down to -29*C. Not super cold for here but still not all that welcome
Oh .... maybe 15 ft away ... the young ones seem to be the tamest. Probably cuz they haven't been shot at yet ...

Minus 20°C??? That sounds horrible! Although I*d like for winter to come back for a week or so, because I really want to capture some more ice crystals with my new macro rings.

ya ... it has been the same temp for weeks now .... rather strange. At least it has been pretty much calm which is unusual for the prairies. And when it gets cold AND windy ..... well .. then it is REALLY miserable. This hasn't been bad really although I'm ready for it to warm up. When I got up this morning it was -23 .... and it is still -23. It's just too cold to take any pictures outside and it besides .... not much to take pics of except the hungry birds and deer that visit

I can relate, cold AND windy is the most horrible weather. We had one day here in December when it was -15°C and really windy, and it just felt miserable.
Since the beginning of the new year, however, we've had milder temperatures and all the snow and ice have disappeared. I can't complain.

still the same here .... -23*C again this morning .... more snow over night but clear today so it is going to be beautiful!

That sounds painful though.

nope ... but it will hurt like a sumbitch when it starts to thaw out .... -35*C at 4 am this morning .... woo hoo

Argh!!!! *dies just from reading this*
How do you stand this???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
after 54 years a person just gets used to it I guess
either that or just too dumb to know any better
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL! I suppose if you *really* did mind the cold, you would have moved further south decades ago.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
for me it's a no brainer .... I've driven a truck ALL over the south .... for 30+ years. I've seen what it is like with all those people wanting to cling to the warmth. For me it's not even a close call .... I'll put up with the cold for a couple of months a year thank you very much
In fact ..... it's even better in the winter now. I moved out here in 1981 and for the first 5 years I was the only person living here year round so it was super quiet all winter long. And that offset all the chaos during the summer with everyone racing around out on the lake. Slowly everyone started to think it was a good idea to live here year round and it really started to annoy me cuz every time I turned around there was a person standing there .... arrrrrrgggggghhhhh! But now most of them leave for a least a month ... sometimes two months .... and go down by the Mexican border and leave me alone with all the animals .... even better!

Oh my.... but isn't it a bit lonely sometimes? And did you have your appendix removed before moving into the wilderness, just in case?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nope .... never. The only time I am ever lonely is when I am in a huge city and surround by so many people and yet I am by myself. Now THAT is a lonely feeling! In my opinion "loneliness" is not created by physical distance
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's very true. It's a state of mind. I'm often *alone*, but I'm rarely *lonely*.

Such a cutie! Gotta luff those ears, I'm a sucker for anything with big ears. Great shot of a beautiful subject.

thanks .... this little guys are soooooo cute. I was hoping to get a shot of them this summer when they were really tiny but never saw them. My neighbours down the way said they were in their yard a few times but I never saw them here
I've only ever seen a fawn once .... and that was rescue it when it was stuck in a sheep fence. It was soooooo tiny! I picked it up and carried across the road as it's mother anxiously paced back and forth watching. I laid it down in some bushes and quietly left. The mother was still not that far away so I just assume they found each other
